 i can see why people would say it is fake or photoshopped cause is is freekin' unbelievable, but because it is legit, all those non-believers can shove off... hats off to you sir, you've done what nearly all wouldn't have the balls to attempt. Well deserved POD, couldn't imagin the rush of that ride....

 Last summer I already rode the steps when there was no water coming down. So I knew already which steps I was able to ride and which ones I had to hop down on the back wheel as I used to do in trails competition. I used maxxis minion DHF 42a 2.5 UST with less than 2 bar in it to have maximum grip. I have the non compressed picture in 4.3 MB size on my computer.

 Looks like the spillway of a dam. Perhaps designed to allow some aquatic life to ascend into the dam or perhaps just to look pretty. I'm sure this is not the ONLY photo on the internet of this place.

The drop behind the rider looks about five feet high. It looks perfectly doable for a good rider. Not photoshopped. Why would anyone bother?

If nosewheely told us the name of the place you could Google images in a heartbeat - probably with people standing in front of the drops. And then everyone who says its photoshopped would look like a tool!

POD!

 Okay,
1. punch 'lago di tenno, italy' into google maps.
2. go about 500 metres to the south west of the bottom left hand corner of the lake.
3. Change to the satellite view if you aren't already.

That long caterpiller looking thing is the 'stairway'.

If someone can find a link to a tourist's photo of the thing, post the link please. I'm done.

I'm still trying to find a tourist shot of the thing.

not saying its defo fake and etheir way i think it deserved the POD

 look again about those 10 foot drops. closer to 5 at most with big runouts. the cracks between the rocks are easily ridden and the water level is below the rocks, not about to sweep anything away. i'd ride that anytime. its amazing, but calm down. and there's no need to fake something which is not that insane.

 I'll agree with that. Lots of people love to doubt and rip things apart. A bit of scepticism is good, but it easily goes too far.
I love trials, in its own right. But the skills learned have made me a much better rider/freerider for sure.
Your picture is truly wild! Most people wouldn't even think to ride that!

 Ok, I want to believe its real, and when you zoom in on the photo, the riders pixels match perfectly fine with the surrounding pixels, but how does showing the pic on picasa prove anything different?
  • + 1
flag Mazekwon (May 29, 2009 at 7:13)
 because you can see, that as you said "the pixels match PERFECT". There is no such thing as perfect in photoshop. teh rider is equally as focused as the rocks which means the lens used has the same focal length when shooting both, the chances of two things being shot at seperate places, maybe even with different camera's and lenses' and turning out the same is going to be pretty weird.
